Colt to bring back the Delta Elite (10mm)

This is a discussion on Colt to bring back the Delta Elite (10mm) within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; The word is that Colt is reintroducing the Delta Elite (10mm 1911) with a few changes!!!
Can it be true, Colt is making a good ...

The stars must be aligned.....

I don't know what to make of it. Colt is actually showing signs of listening to customers and bringing back some oldies but goodies that people want. Maybe they are watching Smith & Wesson, who are doing the same thing to some extent.

I'm excited for Colt. Glad to see some activity. Hoping for even more. Perhaps even the Detective Special revolver? Maybe? Hopefully?

Glad to take a look at all the goodies that OD is posting this morning. Those Storkeeper/Sheriff's models of the SAA look good enough to tote for concealed carry. That's the best photo I've yet seen of the New Agent. Gives me bad "Forum Envy".

I have a Defender in .45 ACP (at Colt now in for repairs) and most folk consider it's recoil to be punishing. I picked it up from the original owner on discount as his own wrists being twice my own age could not take the recoil as he reported. Myself I've had no problem with it and use it at times to shoot IDPA with as well. But when I loan it to others they are always like whoa...especially in side to side comparison to a full size all steel 1911 in .45.

A 10MM Defender I can't imagine how unpleasant that would be to train with toward proficiency.
I like this Dela Elite but ammo is going to be expensive and recoil will still be hard felt in hand. IMHO a more sensible and practical as well as forward thinking OEM release would have been one factory chambered in 9x23MM. Light recoil with ballistics akin to a 357 magnum and can support an extra round in hand as well.
I'm speaking specifically to street and combat application toward 2 legged animals and not pistol platform hunters to which 10MM makes more sense albeit less so much in a 1911 GI sizing or less form factor.
